CAR BATTERY

SERVICE OVERVIEW

Today’s high-tech vehicles make more electrical demands than ever before, and your car’s battery helps meet those demands in a variety of ways. The car battery supplies electrical current for the starter motor to crank the engine, and it provides power to electrical accessories when the engine is off. During vehicle operation, when electrical loads exceed charging system capacity, the battery steps in to provide any needed extra current. And throughout all this, the car battery acts as a voltage stabilizer for the entire electrical system. Early detection of weak components can save you time, money and inconvenience.

Protection Includes:

*Note: Battery Installation is free with battery purchase for most vehicles, excluding High Voltage primary batteries in electric and hybrid vehicles.

*Note: Some batteries may not be offered for some vehicles.
